Once I finish taking all of those beautiful pictures of you, I'll upload the images to your own personal gallery. There you'll be able to purchase prints (paper, canvas, & metal!) in many sizes. Many, many sizes. But, how do you know which size to choose? Why choose one size over another?
Want a long drawn out explanation of printing? No? Ok, well how about this chart?
In a nutshell, you will lose a little bit of your image if you choose a print size in the first row. Those are the most common sizes...the ones we have always purchased. It's common to go straight for those sizes because not only are they familiar but you can buy frames for them most anywhere. But, don't be afraid of the second row!
Prints in the second row aren't much bigger (or smaller) than the common sizes (8x10 vs 8x12) and you won't lose any of what you see in your gallery. Frames are a little tougher to find just anywhere, but they are available locally at stores like AC Moore & Michael's and can be ordered online or by special order through me.
Here's a closer look at an 8x10 and an 8x12. In this particular image, one inch has been removed from the top and one from the bottom to get an 8x10. Remember, the 8x12 is the same ratio as the original image.
When in doubt about what you should pick, you can always ask me, of course. We'll work together to choose the print sizes that are right for you.

Voodoo for your home!
Sometimes it can sound that way. There are a few schools of feng shui (pronounced feng shway), the ancient chinese art and science. Some are pretty complex, and some more mystical. I am not an expert in feng shui, but I find the main basic principles to be pretty understandable and easy to apply.
Feng shui loosely means "balance and flow". It is a practice that encourages getting your environment in sync with who you are and where you are going. Everything has energy, and getting in alignment with the energy around you can make your life better in a myriad of ways.
Feng shui is an approach to design that can be applied to any style. The essence of its message is "if it feels good to you then it is good feng shui." The key is tuning in to yourself and finding what feels good, and noting what doesn't.
Our lives get so busy that we miss subtle (and even the outright) clues to our happiness. To really make changes we need to slow down and pay attention to our surroundings.
Getting conscious and noticing how you feel in a space can give you a good indication of the feng shui of the space.
The application of feng shui techniques has been credited with many improvements in people's lives, from more happiness and peace, to greater job satisfaction, more positive family interactions and increased income.
It makes sense, though, really.
In studies, scientists have found that our environment directly influences our emotional, mental and physical health.
When you live and work in places that feel good to you, you are happier, your attitude is more positive and the overall quality of your life improves.
Following are 4 of the premises in feng shui you can fold into your spaces to raise the vibration:
"Protect your back."
Take steps to foster a sense of security and protection.
Wherever possible, have seating with sturdy backs that come up a little ways. Provide enough seating where people can have their back to the wall and a view of the room's entrance. If you have a floating sofa, (which I do!) make sure the back isn't too low, or place a console table behind it. You want to feel cozy, protected and able to relax.
"Minimize sharp edges and corners'
Rooms with too many corners and edges can feel uneasy and put us on alert. Incorporate some furniture with softer rounded edges. Add plants or textiles to soften windows.
Subconsciously this creates a calmer and less threatening environment.
Place round objects in corners of rooms (sculptures, plants, round tables) to soften the corners of the room, and help the flow of energy.
Pay attention to anything that allows your survival instincts to perceive your space as safe.
"Incorporate nature"
The natural world is very soothing to us and we are hard wired to respond positively to it. Anything you do to bring the outside in will up the vibe in your home. Images of woodlands or water, the use of natural materials like wood, linen and cotton. An actual window framing a beautiful view, or an outdoor room, such as a screened in porch, or a sunroom are wonderful natural features.
You don't have to have everything symmetrical, or matchy-matchy. Balance means adding or subtracting to offset something that is "too much". Whenever you use the word "too" to describe something you are pointing out an area of imbalance… "that corner is too dark" or that room is too cold… "that sofa is too big…" etc.
Surround yourself with beauty and meaning. Create edited collections of things you love. The practice of feng shui can help you to create a space that feels as good as it looks. The basic principles can be applied to any space, raise the vibration in your home, make you happier, and a millionaire.
Just kidding.
But maybe not! Who knows what you'll be able to do when your vibration is high and your environment supports your goals and dreams?
Here's to being happy and peaceful in your space, and feeling like a million bucks.
Have you applied any feng shui techniques in your home or office?
Join us in the Facebook group for the 7 Day "Clear the Clutter and Make Room for What Matters" challenge, starting on June 5!

Well, you've created a masterpiece and now it's time to output your sequence. Avid Xpress Pro gives you several options when it comes to outputting your work. In the past, the only option in an edit suite was to have a finished edit master. The cherished edited master tape was sent to duplication where dupes were made and then hopefully filed in a library. The inherited danger was that the edited master could be misplaced. What if it was destroyed during mass duplication? Because there was only one edited master, editors, producers, duplication techs, and so on, had to be very careful with it. This is certainly true to some degree today, but because post-production work is performed on a computer, you can now produce several edited masters. Editors can even keep an edited master for themselves. How great is this when it comes time to create your demo reel?
In today's edit suites, finished sequences might never even make it to tape. You can also output to DVDs or export the files. Perhaps a sequence you edited with Avid Xpress Pro is destined for the Internet or a web page. The outputting options certainly have changed in a few short years. In this chapter, you'll learn how to output your sequence to tape, output to DVD, and discover the basics of exporting your sequence.

International Olympic Committee has added 6 new events to 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia: women's ski jumping, team figure skating, biathlon mixed team relay, luge team relay, and ski half pipe for men and women. The last one is extremely popular in USA and Canada, whose teams would probably be among the favorites at the upcoming Games.
The most significant news is that women are finally allowed to compete in ski jumping after a huge scandal on the Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver, Canada.
The IOC is considering inclusion of 5 more events.

Choosing The Right Living Room Furniture Set For Your Home
If you are planning on purchasing new furniture, then you want to be sure that you spend your money wisely by choosing the right type of furnishings for the area of the home. Here is some advice on how to choose the style and design for your living room furniture.
In many cases, choosing new furnishings for the home can become a confusing task. There are always so many different styles available for consumers to choose from. Without having a knowledgable staff, knowing the difference from one manufacturer to the next makes it a little difficult to select the best furniture set that will fit nicely into your home.
If you are living on a tight budget, then you will want to be selective with your choices. Purchase only what you can afford. There are many sets which can look great without spending a lot of money. Take your lifestyle into consideration and choose furniture that reflects upon your personal style.
Perhaps you will like furnishings that have a more traditional look or maybe you will prefer a more modern set. Either way, you will find a set that will fit your budget. Shubert's staff can help you choose the styling that best fits your house.
Select material which will last for several years as you will want this set to last. Choose colors that expresses your own personal taste and colors that will set the kind of mood it is that you want to feel. Choose the appropriate type of fabric, for example, that is stain resistant especially should you have young children or pets.
At Shubert, our experts will help you choose the right living room furniture for your home.

Sales associates in Shubert's are willing to help with selecting the right furniture pieces. Finding the right furniture in St Louis is important when upgrading the current decor or moving into a new home.

Each year the Distillery Manager, John MacDonald, selects whiskies that have reached the peak of perfection. A measured, precise process. They say process, but there's nothing mechanical about Balblair. Not their whisky. Nor their methods. John lets their Vintages follow a natural course, and complements this with traditional distilling methods.
Judging a Vintage is a time-earned art. Understanding the alchemy of process and environment takes dedicated craftsmanship.
A native Highlander, John, has a lifetime's experience in creating unique whiskies having worked in the whisky industry since leaving college.
John's first position in the whisky industry was at a distillery not too far from Balblair and was supposed to just be a year out from studying but he ended up staying for 17 years!
During his time there, John spent 18 months in warehousing before spending a year as mill-man. He was then promoted to mash-man where he spent three and a half years followed by five and a half years as a still-man before being offered the chance to become Assistant Distillery Manager.
Despite spending 17 years here and enjoying every minute, when the position of Balblair Distillery Manager came up in 2006, John saw this as his dream job. He had always been a big fan of Balblair whisky and greatly admired the distillery and its location.

H&M Blush Pink Cardigan – Similar Here, Here & Here
American Eagle Striped T-Shirt – Here
Levi's Black Skinny Jeans – Here
Thursday Boot Co. Downtown in Smoke Suede – Here
Rebecca Minkoff Pink Feed Bag – Similar Here & Here
Wednesday was the official start to summer, and the weather decided to turn cold, cold, cold on us here in Alberta. It has been nothing but wind, rain and cooler temperatures this past week, a dramatic change from the +30 we were experiencing earlier this month. But I am trying to maintain a positive outlook, at least the trees will be super green and the flowers extra pretty from all the rain. Today I am keeping it cozy with an oversize Pink Cardigan that I paired with a Simple Striped T-Shirt and my new Black Skinny Jeans from Levi's. To complete the outfit I added on my Rebecca Minkoff Pink Feed Bag ( I'm all about that matchy matchy life ) and my most comfortable Ankle Boots from Thursday Boot Co.

So anyway back to the recipe...
1 can black beans
1 can corn
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can refried beans
All of the cans should be approximately the same size. Open all of the cans but do NOT drain any of them. Stir them all together in a large "dutch oven" size saucepan. Cook until bubbly. Yields: 4 servings (we figure about 1 serving per can)
That is it. The end! So fast, right??? And it is SO CHEAP!
There are so many variations on this soup... (I will list some of our favorites!)
- I normally always add cumin and chili powder. I like it to taste a little more "tacoy."
- I love using flavored (like Italian, Chili Ready, Lime and Cilantro, etc) tomatoes!
- Sometimes (if we are filling rich or because we are starving) I will add a 1 can of (drained) chicken. You could also throw in cooked hamburger if you wanted.
- Tortilla Chips! Great as "crackers" or to use as spoons
- Cheese/ sour cream--who doesn't love a delicious creamy soup?
- Serve with cornbread on the top--Casey says this is a southern favorite.
- If more people are coming over, add extra cans--it doesn't have to be an exact science recipe. You could mix up the proportions.
|The picture is from Healthy Thoughts....
It looked similar to my recipe--this one for sure has ground beef/ turkey in it though.

Client Feedback
The following are reviews and feedback we received on our Facebook, Yelp and Google+ pages through their organic reviews feature. Thank you to everyone for your kind and helpful comments!
★★★★★ I've used this spa for more than ten years and they have never failed to meet my expectations. Professional, clean and they use high end organic natural products. I've tried many other spas and I always come back to Urban retreat. Highly recommend.
– Hayley Rothenberg – January 2017
★★★★★ What an amazing day spa! I had a massage, facial, manicure and pedicure here and all of the treatments were top notch. Everyone went above and beyond to make me feel pampered and relaxed. I'd definitely recommend Urban Retreat!
– Christina Dennis – January 2017
★★★★★ The staff here are always so friendly and welcoming, and the services (especially massage in my opinion) are top notch! I always leave here feeling fantastic thanks to their high quality and thoughtfulness.
– Seanne Stillar – January 2017
★★★★★ Used my Christmas gift certificate today for the 90 minute facial with Pamela who was fantastic! The facial includes massage for hands, head, arms and shoulders. Very relaxing. Will definitely be back!
– Peter Bertolini – January 2017
★★★★★ I've been going here for about 12 years now. I love getting there a bit early and unwinding in the lounge. The staff are all amazing. I see Sandra on a regular basis and would not have it any other way. She knows exactly what needs to be done without even asking. With their online booking system it's easy to book all of my appointments, even calling in the staff are very pleasant and quick to book your appointments.
– Daisy Prasad – January 2017
★★★★ We went here with my wife to have a massage. The therapists were professional and gave us a very relaxing experience! And the atmosphere was great, it made us enjoyed the massage even more.
– Jon Foster – July 2016
★★★★★ This place is awesome. I have been here multiple times and it's always a great experience. Staff are very professional and friendly. All of the staff are very well trained and experienced in their craft. You can definitely tell by their handiwork. It's definitely not like those little nail studios that are in shopping malls. You get what you pay for here in Urban Retreat, and it's PERFECTION.
– Anonymous Google User – September 2014
★★★★★ I am a regular at Urban Retreat. Anita and her team never fail to impress. The atmosphere is soothing, and I always walking away feeling refreshed and pampered.
– Stephanie Lukacs
★★★★★ My massage was excellent. My therapist took the time to address my needs and had a wonderful technique.
– Mousseau Latham
★★★★★ I have been going to urban retreat for awhile now. I have had my eyebrows, lip, and armpits waxed. They are my favourite place to go for these services. To book appointments, you can go on their website and make an appointment, with whatever staff you want, which makes it super easy! I have had multiple staff wax me and have never had a bad experience. All the girls are really nice that work there, and make an uncomfortable experience, more enjoyable. You would not regret making an appointment at this place!
– Morgan L. – March 2016
★★★★★ I got one of my first professional massages at Urban Retreat with work benefits. I remember loving every single moment of the massage, and thinking all professional massages must be this great. I honestly wanted to cry when it was over because it was so amazing I could not accept that it was over. I moved away from Edmonton shortly after, and I have been searching for a massage even half as good as the one I got at Urban Retreat. I learned that No, NOT all professional massages are that great. In fact most, are not even close. I cannot wait to come back to Edmonton because I know this is the first place I will go without a doubt in my mind. I wish I could remember the first name of the girl who gave me the massage but I only remember her last name which was Sorenson.
– J. J. – October 2015
★★★★★ LOVE this spa!!! If you're going for a massage see Sandra if possible, and if not then Crystal. If you're going for a brazilian see Jocelyn or Chelsey! They both make it quick, as painless as possible, and do a meticulous job. If you're going for a brow/lash tint go to Sarah Phung – she's very careful and makes sure you get exactly what you want. And finally if you're going for a pedi, go to Chelsey or Emily – they're both amazing and make you feel comfortable.
– Jamie C. – February 2015
★★★★★ This was first time at Urban Retreat. I won a gift certificate at a golf tournament. I booked a pedicure and a manicure. Katie was my gal. What a GOOD experience it was. I have had many spa treatments over the years and this place is #1 in my opinion. Besides it being exceptionally clean (very very important) the entire staff was very kind, nice and professional. Katie took her time and looked after my hands & feet even better detailed than I can…With the lovely snow that fell over night, I was not prepared to go out to my vehicle in the sandals…so Katie got a dryer for my feet, set me up in a nice room with a comfy couch, offered tea, coffee, water and granola bars…and let me stay as long as I wanted to set my polish. I will come again even though I live on the opposite side of Edmonton. Congratulations on a great SPA…now these guys know what Customer Service is!!!
– Deb S. – March 2014
★★★★ If you're looking for a top-notch spa facial, Urban Retreat is a no. 1 choice. I've had wax jobs faster than this one, but you're not getting the Zen spa surroundings and impeccable sanitation and professionalism of places like Urban Retreat, so it's a bit of a trade-off. (excerpt of full review)
– Jennifer P.
★★★★ I've been to Urban Retreat a few times now, and I love it. The staff are always so professional, and they really care about making each customers' experience a relaxing one. They offer topnotch services: their pedicures, massages, and facials are all so luxurious! This is definitely the place to come if you want a pampering and indulgent experience. (excerpt of full review)
– Emily M.
See more on our Yelp page.
★★★★★ I just spent most of my day here, and it was magical. I'd highly recommend getting a treatment at Urban Retreat! I was lucky enough to experience the "Pamper Package" which was almost 6 hours of pure luxury. Everything from the massage to the mani-pedi was amazing! I especially loved my facial with Katie. She gave me lots of great skin care info, and she even massaged my hands and arms in between facial treatments. You won't be disappointed if you come here! Thanks for the fabulous day, ladies.
– Christina Dennis – January 2017
★★★★★ Have come here for their Urban Retreat facials twice now and I'll definitely keep coming back! The staff here are amazing and very well trained. The facials are customized to your skin's needs and also includes a wonderful massage, all set in a relaxing environment. I always leave feeling rejuvenated and glowing! You get an amazing experience for a great price.
– Alexa Bertolini – January 2017
★★★★★ I love going to Urban Retreat for my manicures and skin care products! I'm so impressed with the cleanliness of the spa and the kindness of the all staff; it's what keeps me coming back. I always see Jocelyn, and I recommend her and this place to everyone I know!
– Avery Simpson – January 2017
★★★★★ Urban retreat is a fantastic spa in West Edmonton! The must haves are the facials from Lori C. And the massages from Sandra. Extremely professional and always punctual staff. Always helpful for product or makeup finds! Best place in Edmonton for Dermalogica, Jane Iredale, Image, and Beauty through Balance products.
– Jenna Earle – January 2017
★★★★★ I was in Edmonton over the Christmas visiting my Children and lucky enough to visit Urban Retreat. From the moment I entered the beauty salon the staff were so friendly and amazing I knew I was in for a great experience. I had a full facial as Pamela designed it around my skin needs as it was quite dehydrated due to traveling and too much celebrating over the Christmas (being Irish we celebrate each occasion way to much). Wow it was the best I have ever experienced and the massage to follow was amazing! I felt my skin looked and felt 20 years younger, I felt I floated off the table I was so relaxed. The whole experience was amazing and would highly recommend Urban Retreat, I will definitely be back on my next visit. Just wish we had such a great facility back home! Well done ladies, simply amazing.
– Elizabeth A. Wright – January 2017
★★★★★ I've been to urban retreat to see Jocelyn, she does an amazing job every time. The staff are all very friendly and pleasant. Spa is super clean and calming. I highly recommend the spa!
– Cassandra Coburn – January 2017
★★★★★ Went in today for the first time. Very pleased with the friendly staff and clean professional service. Will definitely be back!
– Bri Bull – January 2017
★★★★★ Always enjoy coming to Urban Retreat! Great service and relaxing atmosphere! I see Kalina for all my spa needs and she always does an exceptional job!
– Lauren Garcia – January 2017
★★★★★ Great service and customer care. Very welcoming and never leave disappointed.
– Jennifer Langridge – January 2017
★★★★★ They won the 2016 Top Choice Award! Keep it up Urban Retreat, and great job. You have the best products, staff, and services which led you to the Top as the Top Beauty Spa in Edmonton.
– Dyvine Sylvestre – March 2016
★★★★★ This was my first visit to Urban Retreat. I was warmly greeted by the receptionists, and immediately escorted to the treatment area where I enjoyed the most amazing, relaxing facial followed by a steam shower! The Spa is very clean and the staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommend Urban Retreat!
– Lisa Cross – July 2015

Demand generation for complex sales with high lifetime revenue values have significant competition at every turn. In most cases, multiple companies are aggressively seeking an opportunity to stage a sales effort for these high-value deals. In some cases, prospects are unwilling to disclose the needed information, making the opportunities hard to uncover. In other cases, prospects may be unaware they even have a need, or shy away from engaging in the sales process until late in the buying process after doing online research. However, to get a leg up on the competition, most B2B selling firms still want to be involved in shaping or influencing the buyers' specs where there are real opportunities.
After years of tracking metrics and diagnosing lead-to-sales funnels for more than 100 firms, we have determined that it can easily take seven to 13-plus touches to deliver a fully qualified B2B lead to the Sales department. We have also seen that this continues to perplex many a marketer. Rarely can anyone get away with only one (or even a few) communications efforts to fully profile and score a sales-ready lead. The good news: there are some things that can help you shorten the sales-lead generation and qualification process, and we will outline them in this session. We will also burst a few myths along the way as we speak frankly and have front line campaign metrics and research to back our findings.

Greatgatsby: Tragic Hero
Gatsby's vision is based on the belief that the past can be repeated and that sufficient wealth can allow him to control his own fate. When Gatsby is told that no one can repeat the past, he responds, "Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can! (p.116)" His failure to see that youth and Daisy's love are behind him shows the inevitability of his vision's failure. Furthermore, Gatsby believes he can win his woman with riches and Daisy can only achieve his ideal through material influence. He establishes an immense fortune to impress his great love, Daisy, who is only in love with his material success. Gatsby's downfall is brought upon him by his own inability to realize he cannot buy a perfect love or life.
Gatsby is a very capable man but he fails to see the inevitable downfall of his ideal world. Up until his death he never realizes the actual world and his "universe of ineffable gaudiness (p.105)" cannot coexist.

Western Conference Considers Future of Talking Books
The Western Conference of Librarians Serving Individuals with Visual or Physical Disabilities met recently in Bismarck, North Dakota to consider the future of digital talking books, as well as outreach to care facilities and schools. The conference drew librarians from eleven western states, including Nebraska, as well as the Library of Congress.
A care facility administrator, special education director, and other professionals offered advice on outreach efforts. High turnover rates in many care facilities make it important that the talking book program be easily understood by new facility staff. Many special educators need to understand the distinction between talking book service and sources for textbooks in special formats.
The Library of Congress is about to enter into the design phase for its digital talking book player. Digital players and 20,000 digital talking book titles are anticipated to be ready for borrowers by 2008. While new technologies offer opportunities to improve access, they must be easy to use. Talking books is often one of the first services encountered by individuals who are new to visual or physical disability.

Talking Book Narrators Receive Awards

The nonfiction award was given to Barry Bernson for his recording of A Primate's Memoir: A Neuroscientist's Unconventional Life Among the Baboons (RC 53256), by Robert M. Sapolsky. For 25 years, Bernson has been a narrator at the American Printing House for the Blind and has recorded nearly 300 books.

Helpful Hint . . .
Question: Sometimes I receive books that contain the right number of cassettes, but parts of the story, such as the ending, seem to be missing. What could be wrong?
Answer: Cassette books from our library are duplicated onto four tracks. That means that four separate sound tracks are laid down on each tape. That is the reason book cassettes are numbered 1, 5, 9, and so on-in units of four. In order to hear all of a story, always begin a new cassette by moving the cassette player's side selector switch to side 1. When you have read all of side 1, turn the cassette over to read side 2. When you have finished side 2, turn the cassette over to side 1, but change the side selector switch to side 3. When you have finished side 3, turn the cassette over once again to listen to side 4.
To begin the next cassette, be sure the side selector switch is on side 1. If parts of your book still seem to be missing, please call your Readers Advisor.
|Don't Refuse Mail
Please do not refuse mail you receive connected with Talking Book and Braille Service. Instead, call your Readers Advisor to let us know what is happening. When you refuse catalogs or magazines, a central mailing service in Florida places you on a "pre-suspend" status and sends the rejected material to our library for action. Your Readers Advisor needs to verify whether or not there is a problem with your address before the central mailing service can restore you to active status.
This means you will be without these publications until we can contact you to find out why they were refused. In the meantime, you will probably miss catalogs and issues of magazines that interest you.
As for books, if you do not want to receive any for a while, just contact your Readers Advisor. There are a number of ways we can adjust your service to meet your needs. However, when we receive a book back marked "Refused," we must stop service until we can contact you.
|North Platte Canteen Book on Cassette
Once upon a Town: The Miracle of the North Platte Canteen, by bestselling author Bob Greene, tells the true story of North Platte, Nebr., where a miracle happened every day from Christmas 1941 till the end of World War II. American soldiers, at times up to 8,000 per day, traveled through North Platte on troop trains, on their way to war in Europe and the Pacific. Tireless community volunteers, day and night, greeted these young soldiers with homemade food, conversation, coffee, music, and magazines during stops that lasted only a few minutes. By the end of the war, North Platte, then a community of 12,000, had provided comfort and warmth to more than six million soldiers.
This incredible story about "the best America there ever was" is now available on cassette (RC 54433), thanks to the Library of Congress. To request a copy, please contact your Readers Advisor or use the order form below.

Product sale happens by marketing not by engg (features).
So marketing should start even before you come up with the product.
Sale a concept not the product. People look for the solution to their pain rather then having a product first and then looking at what it can do for them.
At initial stage, put more focus on online marketing rather then traditional one. Get some articles on the web regularly. When your product mature, your marketing material will also be accumulated till that time (and of course competitor as well). When the sales team will pitch the product to some customer, they will not be able to show the product in reference to competitor's product because of availability and time constraints. At that time it is the material accumulated over the time on the web that helps.
Your product may be useful for everybody in the world. but do not try to sale to everyone. Identify just one vertical and one market segment at a time for sale. Focus all your energies to make the product successful for the chosen ones. Though at technical level your product may satisfy everyone's need but to pitch to different verticals (and market segments), you need to create different stories. Having too many stories confuse everyone including yourself.
You may be having 100 features in your mind. Do not try to put all of them into the 1.0 product especially not the half backed ones. Go to market early with less but complete features. Again remember nobody can compare 2 products feature by feature all the time. If a feature does not work properly, competition will make a big deal out of it and you will loose in the market. Keep your road-map for missing features ready.
Programmers care least about looks of the product. Take the services of a user interface and interaction designer to carefully design UI and work-flow. Whatever story you are pitching in your marking material should come out of the product UI automatically. Users should not need to receive training or read help.
If you are creating something new, you can never be in pull market. So need to push your product; nobody will come to you to purchase. People wold like to try the product also before purchasing. Let people play with the product freely. The product trial has to be really quick. Nobody comes back after a day to try the product. People even do not like to provide their personal info (including email address) just to look at something. Try to come up with a process such that he customer is able to get a feel of your product without even giving email address and is able to try immediately providing minimum contact info.
Let some basic features of the product be available for free all the time for trial. This captures customers for you. Charge for the premium features and/or volumes. Having more customers on-board will also help you quickly shape your product and product road-map.
Your big prospects will always come up with a list of missing features as 'required' to avoid your sales person. Make sure that you listen to customers more than prospects. If you change your road-map and development plan based on these inputs, you will end up producing bad things. Such prospects always deny for purchase telling some other reason when you go to them after creating their list of features. Focus more on the people who are already using your product; keep them happy, they will do free publicity for you.
Creating a successfull product
2 comments:
Have just one brand name to deal with. If possible have same name for your company and product. To capture the mind share of the market, you need to popularize your brand. Having multiple brand names require multi-folded energy, effort and money. Choose one name and let everything be under the same umbrela. For example if my company name is Akshay Inc, my products may be Akshay Enterprise, Akshay personal, Akshay finance and so on ...ReplyDelete
yes bt Hindustan Lever think deffrently they marketed different Brands with there Brand name so as Coke-Coca cola,Thums up,Limca etc.ReplyDelete
In these cases giants buy the popular brand and carry it forwerd without putting in there names.

Humans might have finished off the woolly mammoths, but the genetics of the giants apparently helped them decline well beforehand, scientists now find.
The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) was coated in hair up to 20 inches long and possessed extremely long, curved tusks up to 16 feet in length.
The species thrived for tens of thousands of years, apparently going extinct roughly 12,000 years ago, around the end of the last ice age.
• Click here to visit FOXNews.com's Evolution & Paleontology Center.
For years, scientists suspected that ancient human tribes hunted the mammoths and other ice-age giants to oblivion.
Recent research seems to contradict this notion, however — for instance, a comet or tuberculosis may have helped kill off the American mastodons (Mammut americanum), loosely related to mammoths.
DNA lifted from wooly mammoth bones, tusks and teeth now reveals the extinction of those giants was not "a sudden event at the end of the last ice age, but a piecemeal process over tens of thousands of years involving progressive loss of genetic diversity," said University of London evolutionary biologist Ian Barnes.
The researchers analyzed 96 mammoth samples that often came as a result of gold mining in Alaska or paleontological digs in Siberia or Europe.
Barnes recalled one instance when he and some Russian colleagues went collecting samples in Siberia and the boat broke down miles upriver from their camp.
"I looked at the two Russians, who probably had about 50 years of Arctic experience between them, and asked what we did now. 'Now we row!'" Barnes said. "Which was a bit tricky, as they only had one paddle. After a while I asked how long it would take, and one of them said, 'Maybe one day, maybe two, ha, ha, ha.'"
"We had no food, and just as critically, none of the key elements of any Siberian field team — no tea and no sugar," Barnes said. "After a couple of hours of zigzagging down the river, we got picked up by a passenger ferry and taken in as the guests of some local guys who plied us with vodka and cranberries. You get a fair number of transport problems in Siberia, it seems, but things generally work out OK. That said, I last went in the field five years ago, and I'm fairly happy about that."
When all was said and done, the team's analyses suggest that woolly mammoth populations remained mostly constant in size for their last 70,000 years.
However, occasional drops in population size led to gradual reductions in genetic diversity, findings detailed in the June 19 issue of the journal Current Biology.
"The fact that they were not genetically diverse might have meant they were not very adaptable to climate change or disease," Barnes told LiveScience. "Maybe when the climate changed and warmed up, things became wetter, and boggy ground doesn't suit mammoths too well. Then humans might have killed off the small, remaining terminal populations."
The fact that mammoths seemed to hang in there for tens of thousands of years with fairly low genetic diversity, not really expanding much in population size, "could be interpreted as having implications for modern elephant conservation," Barnes said. "Perhaps all the elephant family are able to exist for long periods with low genetic diversity and at a constant population size."
"However, I would be extremely cautious about going down this route, as we don't really have enough data to extrapolate in that way, and modern elephants have human predation to deal with in a way that mammoths didn't for most of their history," Barnes cautioned.

Hardworking microbes for hardworking farmers.
Every season, farmers face unpredictable growing conditions. Weather and other factors can keep up to half of the nitrogen applied to crops from being available to plants that need it.
That's where Pivot Bio comes in. Our innovative ON Technology™ harnesses the innate ability of naturally occurring microbes to provide crops with nutrients right when they need it the most. It's a game-changing approach that allows farmers to achieve crop yield potential with better environmental outcomes.
Proprietary ON Technology™: Flipping
the switch for nutrient uptake.
Our unique Optimized for Nutrients Technology combines a deep understanding of the crop microbiome, genetic sequence information and microbial behavior. The result is a groundbreaking process that enables microbes to increase nutrient uptake by crops. We've started by solving the toughest problem of all: nitrogen fixation in cereal crops.
ON Technology, also known as guided microbial remodeling, is a state-of-the-art process that identifies, characterizes and fine-tunes microbes to realize their full potential. We adjust the genetic material naturally present in a microbe to increase nutrient uptake by the crop. Better nutrient availability improves crop quality and yield potential.
Though our ON Technology is scientifically rigorous and complex, the thinking behind our process is relatively simple. Here's how we're applying guided microbial remodeling to nitrogen fixation in corn crops to create better solutions for farmers:
Step 1:
Collect diverse soils to isolate and identify millions of microbes. In the process, we create a sophisticated map of the soil microbiome.
Step 2:
Determine if key microbes have the genetic potential to fix atmospheric nitrogen and live in a symbiotic relationship with corn.
Step 3:
Precisely fine-tune these microbes so they release nitrogen to the corn plant.
In rigorous field trials and scientific studies, we've demonstrated how ON Technology leads to increased corn yields with less fertilizer use. All with even bigger possibilities on the horizon. Our guided microbial remodeling process can provide a significant and increasing amount of nutrients like nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus in many crops.
Our microbes reach the field as a seed treatment or in-furrow application. As the seed germinates, these microbes grow in synergy with the crop root system and fix atmospheric nitrogen during critical growth periods. Because the microbes live in symbiosis with the crop, they are not washed away by adverse environmental conditions or affected by variable topography, soil texture and organic matter.
From strengthening the food system to providing economic benefits for farmers in a way that helps protect the environment, our goal is to make a lasting impact on the world around us
—Karsten Temme, CEO and Co-Founder of Pivot Bio
Better microbes, healthier planet.
At Pivot Bio, we are inspired by the idea that today's agricultural innovations can bring about meaningful change for generations to come. We believe our ON Technology will help farmers increase profitability, while decreasing inputs and reducing environmental impact.
In fact, by increasing yield in a variety of growing conditions, crop nutrient innovations like ON Technology can help farmers meet their fertilizer needs — and protect our planet's most valuable resources.

Help to Buy Scheme
Make the cost of moving more affordable with the government Help to Buy scheme, offering two new ways to buy a new Lovell home with just a 5% deposit.
Help to Buy: Equity Loan
Under the scheme, if you are a first or second time buyer and you do not currently own a property in or outside the UK then with a Help to Buy Equity Loan, you'll only need a 5% deposit to purchase a new build home. The government will lend you up to 20% of the value of the property, so you can access mortgages up to 75% of loan to value
The loan is available on new build properties under £600,000 in England, as long as they're not being bought as buy-to-let.
The loan can be repaid at any time and is interest-free for the first five years. After that, it will be charged at 1.75% of the equity loan, rising annually by RPI plus 1%.
Help to Buy: Mortgage Guarantee
The Help to Buy: Mortgage Guarantee is also available on new build and existing homes. If you can afford the repayments but don't have a large deposit (minimum 5%) the Mortgage Guarantee offers you a mortgage of up to 95% from participating mortgage lenders.
The lender can now offer up to a 95% mortgage as the Government will provide the lender with a guarantee of up to 15% of the property value, reducing the risk for lenders and enabling the lenders to offer you more competitive rates. The Help to Buy: Mortgage Guarantee scheme is available on all Lovell house purchases up to £600,000 in England, Scotland and Wales.
If you're interested in finding out more about Help to Buy and how it can assist you get in touch with a Lovell development today.Help To Buy Calculator For more information and for full terms and conditions
